Climbing Gear

Sharp edges are no stranger in alpine terrain, so when heading into the Uinta Mountains, we pack along the Starling Protect Pro Dry Climbing Rope. Edelrid's Protect technology provides a burly sheath without reducing the rope's dynamic properties, so we get superior cut resistance and still enjoy a soft catch.

We pack along the Pur Line Climbing Rope to lighten our load on multi-pitch routes. The rigid core gives us better control on the throw when getting ready to rap. Once at the bottom, we get a good grip on the rough-textured sheath to easily retrieve our rope.

Edelrid has succeeded in providing us with the first ever recycled climbing rope on the market, reusing ropes throughout the sheath and core of the Neo 3R Climbing Rope to give us the perfect marriage of safety and sustainability. Their Thermo Shield treatment promises perfect handling so we can expect quick slack feed from our belayer and smooth clipping through the crux.

Thanks to its skinny 9. 1 diameter, low weight, and advanced dry treatments, the Beal Joker Unicore Dry Cover Climbing Rope is as equally suited to difficult sport routes as it is to soaking-wet alpine excursions. The Unicore construction eliminates sheath slippage, and the Dry Cover sheath treatment guarantees a high level of water and humidity resistance.

We flake out the Arial Dry Climbing Rope at the base of our project, trusting in its flexible yet burly construction for smooth slack pay out from our belayer and reliable strength should we take another whipper on this hundredth redpoint attempt.

The 9. 9 Climbing Rope is Black Diamond's thickest and most durable climbing rope, and it's still versatile for virtually any style of climb. This rope balances the burliness required for big-wall projects with the beginner-friendly handling that new climbers need at the gym. Its Endurance rope boasts hardcore durability against rocky edges, and there's a half mark for easily identifying the rope's center for rigging rappels.

Perfluorinated chemicals cover dry-treated climbing ropes for obvious benefits—water- and abrasion-resistance—however, they have a ridiculously slow corrosion time, meaning that they'll last a longer than any climber's lifetime. This is problematic when ropes rub their treatments off rocky edges when you're lowering off the climb. It adds grease to the rock and, more importantly, our collective carbon footprint as climbers and humans. Edelrid solved this issue with the Swift Eco Dry Climbing, featuring the first eco-friendly dry treatment in existence. It doesn't use any of the aforementioned PFC's, and it still meets UIAA's standards for eliminated water absorption. The Swift's super skinny 8. 9…

There's at least one cam in this Wild Country New Friend Set that would fit in a crack that suits your hand-jam perfectly. One might feel too small, and the other too large—or some other combination—but at least one will slide into a crack as perfectly as your mitt. Given Wild Country was the first company to sell the original camming device, you can rest assured that they've had the longest to research an ideal construction. The 13. 75° camming angle is the ideal angle for secure placements, and the high-friction faces keep the cam positioned exactly how you want it. The Dyneema sling is extendable so you can leave your alpine draws at home.

The Petzl Quark Ice Tool has been redesigned, making it even more ready to take on steep ice and any alpine terrain you can throw its way. Petzl added a collapsible finger rest that folds up into the shaft for a lower profile, and locks via a button that can be easily operated, even with gloves on. The handle received a makeover, too, with the front and sides of the old model being flattened into a more rectangular shape that increases grip efficiency. It also boasts slightly more room, allowing you to keep your hand in a more natural position, reducing pump as you work hard on steep pitches. The Quark's shaft received an update, too. It's now hydroformed into a three-dimensional shape that's …
